Balaclava Peace CollectiveHailing from Mparntwe (Alice Springs), the Balaclava Peace Collective play conscious desert soundscapes rooted in the classic genres of blues, rock, reggae and folk.
Formed in 2025, BPC perform original songs imbedded in a First Nations experience of life. Touching on themes such as love for Country, culture, humanity, politics, and spiritual prosperity, the band express their songs in both Arrernte and English.
BPC are a collective of local musicians with a shared love of music and collaboration. With a rebellious undertone in their lyrics, BPC protest the oppressive forces that continue to disempower First Nations people globally whilst paradoxically living by the philosophy of Peace.
Echoing the rock n roll mojo of central Australian bands that have come before them in the 80’s and 90’s, BPC are putting their own unique flavour into central Desert music. The Balaclava Peace Collective are fresh and soulful and have something poignant to say.CW
